Journey abandon set and rushed off stage as electrical fire breaks out during set

After a fire broke out during their set, Journal were forced to halt a performance. After an electrical fire broke out during their set at the Livestock Show and Rodeo, the legendary rock group returned to play. When the incident occurred, the group, which is well-known for hits like Don’t Stop Believin’ and Any Way You Want It, had just begun playing one of their most well-known songs.

At the time of the event, the band, which was formed in 1973, included vocalist Arnel Pineda, guitarist Neal Schon, drummer Deen Castronovo, keyboardist and guitarist Jonathan Cain, bassist Todd Jensen, and keyboardist Jason Derlatka.

The power suddenly went out during the band’s rendition of Don’t Stop Believin’s 1981 anthem, according to a video that was posted on social media. Just after the fifth song, this occurred relatively early in the band’s set.

The audience continued to sing along as the music came to a stop, but crew members quickly rushed to the stage with fire extinguishers as they realized something was wrong. Despite the abrupt end, the audience’s enthusiasm persisted, with concertgoers continuing to clap the lyrics.

The band apologized to their fans shortly after the incident in a statement that read, “We sincerely apologize to all fans for this disappointment. Our team is conducting a thorough analysis of the situation, and we will keep you informed of any changes we may make to the schedule or refunds.

The electrical fire’s source has not been established. No injuries were reported for the incident, which may have put a serious risk to the audience. One concertgoer thanked first responders and the stage crew for their quick actions, saying, “I’m so sorry I had to cancel the show, but I’m so happy that first responders and stage hands were able to keep the fire under control and no one was hurt. “Energy fire could have quickly become incredibly dangerous.”

Many attendees of the event shared their experiences, many of whom found the situation humorous. One fan characterized the situation, saying, “Just as they were about to sing, it abruptly cuts, but the audience was singing so loudly that it seemed like they weren’t playing on purpose.” We then became aware of something was amiss after a few verses. Another wrote, “Was hilarious that the audience kept singing like it was a part of the show” as the chorus sounded right at the start.

A statement was soon posted on the Rodeo Houston Instagram account announcing the concert’s cancellation as a result of the “unexpected electrical incident under the stage area.” Attendees were reassured that safety was top priority after the statement, which confirmed that the issue had been resolved.

A new post the day after the technical issue was fixed and the Warren Zeiders concert would go as planned. The post read, “We will host all activities in the stadium and on the grounds as originally planned, and the stage will be operating as normal.” Rodeo Houston assured fans of Journey that they would soon release more details about refunds and rescheduling.
